Freedom to transact is priceless
When people don't understand why CBDCs are bad, show them examples like this:
Discussion
They wont care. They might even report you on their fancy new government app
Is that real?
I belive so, here's my source: https://twitter.com/WinfieldSmart/status/1733693213062451638?t=t6r__EGwYORQ2bjZASc2EQ&s=19
An interesting development, But the alternative is homeless people dying on the sidewalk on fentanyl. The people who I meet that understand and use bitcoin generally have their lives together and are middle class looking to preserve their assets for another generation. There are people out there who refuse to better themselves because they have lost hope in the system understandably, But if you just get to the bottom and stop thinking a CBDC system like this is the only way to drag people along. I wish there was something I could do to help people in that situation, I do my best to show compassion to people who have nothing left. There is a homeless guy who calls me bitcoin whenever he sees me and threatens me or try’s to mess with me because he was a Freemason and still believes one day the whole world will only use dollars. Some people really just can not figure things out, And it has to do with so many factors, But I do kind of think a CBDC is the only way to give everyone a basic income, Access to technology, And reward good behavior. Generally bitcoiners don’t need these guardrails to become better people. If they do illegal things it is for the right reasons and never belligerent. It is terrifying to think about but so is getting stabbed with a needle by someone who has HIV.
They can do a UBI without a CBDC, there's pilots out there incl in Canada. CBDCs are not the answer. North America also needs a better approach wrt addiction, UBI alone is not the answer either, we need better supports for recovery
I think it will work the other way around. When the banks get what they want everyone else will after, But bitcoin will be the way for people who don’t want what the banks want for them to make their own choices because they are smart enough. People like doing drugs, But don’t like learning about how they affect their lives, And this is because of the illegal nature of the black market. Many things were felonies before they became mainstream. Marijuana, Alcohol was prohibited, Gold, The bank and the government just has to keep these things illegal to stay in power but are eventually accepted as the things they are as a majority of people comprehend their effects.
China's big experiment will propagate. Technocrat love it.
